Of course, Mandrake 8.x (like Red Hat 7.2 and 7.3) uses grub by default.
I still haven't figured out how to pass that parameter in grub. I have
had to boot to a command prompt and edit my /etc/inittab file to get the
desired result. That works, of course, but it's inelegant at best, and
dangerous if I foul up the file at worst.
Any grub experts out there?
All the best,
Caity
